Routine Engine Tune-Up Service for Your Honda Odyssey

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1996 Honda Odyssey.
The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option.
It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*.
The second service focuses on your Odyssey's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter.
The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your Odyssey's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate.
This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance).
Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your Odyssey can determine what kind of service it needs.
A one-size-fits-all engine tune-up procedure doesn’t necessarily exist.
Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A For 1996 Honda Odysseys

What happens if my Honda Odyssey spark plugs fail?
Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Honda’s recommendations.

What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Honda Odyssey?
Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Honda Odyssey. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.

Are hard starts and stops bad for my Honda Odyssey engine?
Hard stops and starts can lead to premature wear on your engine’s components. Lighten up that lead foot and opt for steady, fluid starts and stops instead. Your engine (and your passengers!) will thank you.
